More than 60 budding developers spent 48 hours at Media Design School collaborating on a variety of projects as part of the Global Game Jam (GGJ) and the results were nothing short of amazing.

It was the third time Media Design School has participated in the global event, which included more than 16,000 people in 63 countries.

“Global Game Jam is an excellent opportunity for game developers, both experienced and newcomers, to get involved in the game making community,” said Media Design School senior game art lecturer James Manning.

“It was great to see students (both past and present) working in teams alongside industry veterans such as NZGDA chairperson Stephen Knightly.”
